Absent Father Timing and its Impact on Adolescent and Adult Criminal Behavior

Uloga oca u problematici pobačaja

“…64 Odsutnost oca u razvoju djeteta najvažniji je faktor u razvijanju asocijalnog ponašanja i inklinacije kriminalu kod dječaka. 65 Izostanak oca u obitelji može biti uzrokovana stvarnim fizičkim gubitkom ili odsutnošću oca, pri čemu razvodi nadmašuju smrti. 66 No, isto je i kod fizički prisutnog oca koji živi s djetetom, a zapravo je odsutan, ne pruža djetetu očinsku potporu, emocionalno je udaljen ili nedostupan, odnosno emocionalno ga zlostavlja.…”
